ALEXANDERMalcolm Alexander-
JAlexan840@aol.com Looking for information re
the death of my great grandfather WILLIAM ALEXANDER who died 13 August
1913 in Columbia. William was a stonemason who had travelled from
Tillyfourie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland to America to find work. Ellis
Island records show he arrived in NY in Feb 1913. We don't know how he
died. Was he killed in an accident at a quarry? If so, which one? Was
there an inquest or a newspaper report? Is he buried locally? We found
mentions of William in the union records here, so
that might be a way of finding him. Any information gratefully received as it
is not possible for me to travel to U.S.

SCOTT Floyd Scott -
scot9223@bellsouth.netI am trying to find
information on Samuel Scott who died before 1820 and is mentioned in
the will of his brother William dated Jun 28, 1820 recorded in the
Richland County Courthouse. . Samuel's children were Joseph, William,
John, Samuel, James, Sarah, Mary and Jane. Siblings: William, Sarah
(Weston), Elizabeth (Dinkins), Mary (Bostick) and Esther (Thompson). I
am hoping to find a information on John to see if he moved to Lexington
County around 1830 and then to Lee County, GA around 1850. The John I
am searching for would have been born Abt 1794 and married to a Mary
born about 1796 both from South Carolina.
